<p>HY and S are not very realistic. SAT scores would have to be higher and ECs much stronger. The 3.99 is great if you go to a truly top national high school. </p>

<p>There are many schools interested in girls with strong math scores. What is your intended major?</p>

<p>I would say you have a shot at any school in the nation. If you want, look at Columbia for a strong music program in a great musical city.</p>

4

<p>Harvard Yale and Stanford are pretty hard to get into. Your SATs are probably up in the competitive range, but from what I see your ECs aren't quite enough to push you over the top. Plus your white which gives you another problem. So possibly, but realistically don't get your hopes up too high. You could probably get into Cornell, Dartmouth, Columbia, Brown, U. Chicago, Johns Hopkins or other school around there.</p>

<p>top IVY's no. HYPSM}
low ivy's good shot, ie: columbia, duke, penn (non-wharton), etc..}</p>

<p>3.99GPA is almost impossible, unless you took 10000 classes. im guessing you have a ~3.97 but same thing.</p>

6

<p>sat has to go up for hypsm (at least 2250). even so, recs are slightly weak. you can go to a pretty good college but don't rest ur eyes on the ivys.</p>

<p>Think about how to present yourself as more than another nice, bright kid. I've heard admissions people even use an acronym, NBKB nice bright kid but... or something like that. Higher SATs will help. Great essays will help. Upgrading, or showing greater success in one or more of your ECs will help. For the top schools, you need to tie all the elements together to show yourself in a light that will make them say Yes. Otherwise, they just say No. They have to- there are so many to choose from.</p>
